Thanks to Sebastien for this kernel patch which
seems to work - although I built it with 2.4.19smp
because RH7.3 wasn't rebuilding the modules for
me in 2.4.18-3smp...
I let perfly run all night and it was still going this
morning. However, when I tried to exit with "ESC", the
machine hung up.. probably an unrelated issue.
